A 4 kg toy car moves horizontally on a rough road with coefficient of kinetic friction 0.2. It accelerates from rest to 20 m/s in 10 s. Find (a) the total work done on the car

Respuesta :

The total work done on the car is 784Joule.

What's the acceleration of the car?

  • As per Newton's equation of motion, V= U+at
  • U= initial velocity= 0 m/s

V= vinal velocity= 20m/s

t= time = 10s

a= acceleration

  • So, 20= 0+ 10a

=> a= 20/10= 2m/s²

What's the distance covered by the car in 10 seconds?

  • As per Newton's equation of motion,

V²-U² = 2aS

  • S= distance covered by the car
  • So, 20²-0=2×2×S=4S

=> 400= 4S

=> S= 400/4= 100m

What's the work done on the car due to frictional force?

Work done by frictional force= frictional force × distance

= (0.2×4×9.8)×100

= 784Joule

Thus, we can conclude that the work done on the car is 784Joule.
